All of our candidates are worthy of the office. I’m not finding it funny to make fun of any of them at the moment. The stakes are so high.

again. I didn't think it was too bad...I laughed a few times.

But there was something revealing...a joke about Mayo Pete and Square Amy.
I'm telling you they will not appeal to black folks.....so it's either Biden or Bloomberg. Mark my words.

I actually enjoy it when they poke fun at our candidates. Sometimes they really nail it. Larry David as Bernie Sanders is hilarious. The Andrew Yang math jokes are funny because they amplify things he actually says. All the actors have taken various tics and speaking habits that are present and they run with them. I love seeing all that talent on display.

Republicans then they will be accused of bias and they might lose their credibility. Myself, I like to laugh and I have no problem with laughing at other Democrats as well as anyone else.
